With GitHub connected, migrating a repository from /migrate is now one click. The migration brings the full history plus its issues and open pull requests, and the crew is told to make it run here. Milestones and archiving the GitHub repository afterwards are not done; they are in #3288, and #3264 now waits on it.
What changed
- Conversations come with the migration (
src/origins/carry.ts, called fromrunMigrationinsrc/actions/migrate.ts). When the source is a connected account, the migration brings:
- the labels; - every issue, open and closed, under its original number, with its comments; - the open pull requests, as pull requests here on the branches the clone brought.
Each issue and pull request body opens with > Migrated from owner/name#n by @login on GitHub. The link is only kept when it is http(s), and the login is stripped down to the characters a login can contain. The rows are written with the mirror's existing import code (origins/import.ts), so the original author is shown on every page.
- Pull requests are native here. They can be reviewed and merged like any other. A pull request opened from a fork has its
refs/pull/<n>/headfetched into a branch calledpull/<n>; if that fetch fails, the pull request stays read-only and the migration still finishes. Closed pull requests are not brought over. /migratepage (src/web/pages/migrate.ts):
- A "Your accounts" card. "Connect GitHub" uses the existing device flow (a short code, no pasted token) and comes back to /migrate. Each account has a Disconnect button that also comes back. The return is the fixed word then=migrate, never an address a form can supply (src/web/pages/origins.ts).
- The dropdown is replaced by one row per repository: a private mark, its size in KiB/MiB/GiB, and its description. Rows are filtered by ?q= on the server and live as you type.
- Each row's button submits the form, so one click migrates with the crew. The first agent is selected by default.
- Size column:
size_kbis new on the cached repository list (migration20261020180000-origin-repo-size.ts). It comes from thesizefield both GitHub and Forgejo report. - Job page: shows clone, issues, pull requests, then "Making it an app and starting the crew's first run", and finishes on the repository, which is the app's page. A migration from a pasted URL brings history only and skips the two conversation stages.
What to look at
- The new test (
test/migrate.test.ts) uses a fake GitHub API with a private repository, 3 issues and 1 open pull request (plus 1 closed one that must stay behind). One click gives the repository, the 3 issues with their authors, labels and a comment, and 1 native pull request onfix-typo. The app exists, and the crew's brief is issue #5, assigned to the agent. - That test checks the durable
issue.assignedevent the crew dispatcher acts on, not an actual run. The dispatcher is only started bymain.tsand spawns real agents, so the test can't start it. - Further tests cover a pull request from a fork, the Connect/Disconnect round trip back to
/migrate(including athenpointing elsewhere being ignored), and the size, filter and backlink helpers. - Test changes: two existing assertions in
test/migrate.test.tschecked for the old<select>/<option selected>markup; they now check for the row buttons and the prefilled hiddensource. The fake GitHub (test/fake-origin.ts) now reports a comment count and a size.
How to try it
Set FORGE_GITHUB_CLIENT_ID, open /migrate, press Connect GitHub, enter the code, then press "Migrate with the crew" on any row.
The type check and the migrate, origins, schema-migration and cross-file test files all pass (319 tests).

A migration now lands on the branch the app lives on, not always on the source's main. This fixes what made the first trevato/arm run decline with "There is no app on main", where the app was on workbench. It builds on the earlier commits on this branch: Connect GitHub on /migrate, the one-click repository picker, and carrying over issues, comments, labels and open pull requests.
The rule (src/origins/work-branch.ts): pick the branch whose last commit is the person's and newest. If no branch tip is theirs, keep the source's default as before. A commit counts as theirs when any of these match:
- the login the origin attached to it;
- their forge email;
- a GitHub noreply address with their login;
- an author name equal to one of their logins.
Branch tips are read one of two ways:
- Local: from the clone with one
git for-each-ref. - Remote: through the origin's API before anything is cloned. That is one branch listing, then one commits request for each of the first 30 branches; the rest are shown by name only.
Picker (src/web/pages/migrate.ts): each row has a Branches link (/migrate?source=…). It lists that repository's branches newest first, each with its last commit's subject, author and date, and marks "default there" and "yours". The person's newest branch is selected, or ?branch= when given. The Migrate button sends the choice. A different row's one-click button ignores a branch chosen for another repository and applies the rule instead.
Job and brief (src/actions/migrate.ts):
- The API (
POST /api/v1/migrate) takes an optionalbranch. One that git wouldn't accept is refused asinvalid_branchbefore the repository is created. - Without a choice, the job applies the rule to the clone's own tips. When there is an origin, it also uses the origin's logins, which matters when a commit's local author doesn't match the forge account.
- The chosen branch becomes the default branch here.
- The job's message says which branch and why ("Working on workbench, the branch with your newest commits").
importerBriefnames the branch and tells the crew to start from it and open the pull against it.
What to look at: the rule only compares each branch's last commit. If someone else committed on top of the person's work, that branch won't count as theirs. In that case the picker shows the branches and the person can choose. I also did not add the branch to the job page's "Try again" link.
Tests: test/work-branch.test.ts checks the rule against hand-worked cases, including dates in different time zones and a noreply address whose login only contains the person's. The new case in test/migrate.test.ts sets up the arm shape: the upstream's tree on main, the person's app on workbench. It covers:
- by URL:
workbenchbecomes the default, while a person with no commits there keepsmain; - a bad branch name is refused before anything is created;
- through a fake GitHub: the branch list, with commit subjects escaped and
workbenchselected; - an explicit
main, and the one-click path ending onworkbench; - the brief naming the branch.
The type check, scripts/gate.ts, the migrate suites and the five cross-check files all pass. docs/ORIGINS.md documents the rule and the API field.
To try it: connect GitHub on /migrate, click Branches on a fork's row, check which branch is selected, then press Migrate. Or click a row's Migrate button directly and read which branch the job's message names.

The backend is solid. carry.ts reuses the mirror's clamped upserts, the backlink only links http(s) URLs and cleans the login, then=migrate is a fixed word and not a path the client picks, branch is checked with isSafeRef before the repository exists, and the fork fetch passes the credential through the environment with -- before the URL. I ran bun test test/migrate.test.ts test/work-branch.test.ts at a9120e72: 22 pass. I could not reach the preview from my sandbox, so this verdict comes from the code and the tests.
The /migrate page does not follow docs/DESIGN.md, and that blocks it:
- Fix first: the repository picker and the account list are hand-rolled.
class="plain-list"and.pick-rowsare not defined in anysrc/web/stylemodule, so these lists get no styling from the design system. Each picker row hand-writes<button class="btn btn-sm btn-outline">instead of callingbtn(). DESIGN.md §5 gives a list one line per item throughrow()(.row-lead/.row-main/.row-meta/.row-actions). Draw the account rows, the repository rows and the branch rows withrow(), and draw the row button withbtn(..., {size:"sm", variant:"outline"}). The button can still bename="pick"and the form's submitter. - Two primary buttons on one page. Until GitHub is connected, "Connect GitHub" is
variant: "primary"and so is the form's Migrate button. DESIGN.md allows one filled button per page. Make Connect GitHubsecondaryoroutline, or demote Migrate while there is nothing to pick. - A GET costs up to 31 origin API calls.
/migrate?source=…callsremoteTipson every render: one branch listing plus a commits request for each of the first 30 branches. A 422 re-render does it again. That will not answer in milliseconds, and it spends the person's GitHub rate limit on every reload. Cache the tips briefly per origin and repository, or ask for them only when Branches is pressed. - The terminal cannot do any of this.
src/tty.tshas no migrate at all. The page now connects, picks and migrates with a branch, so the terminal needs at least the samemigrateRepowithbranchand a crew. Otherwise open an issue for it and link it here.
Smaller points, not blocking:
- Every open pull from a fork becomes a native pull here, on
pull/<n>. The push event then carries those refs, so the forge's check and preview will run code from strangers' forks without anyone choosing to. The mirror keeps fork pulls read-only for this reason. Consider leaving fork pulls read-only until the owner adopts one, or at least say plainly in the job's message that they are there. - The
+refs/pull/N/head:refs/heads/pull/Nfetch force-overwrites any branch calledpull/Nthat the clone brought.
/migrate connects GitHub, migrates a repository in one click with its issues, comments, labels and open pull requests, and now lands on the branch the app lives on. This push addresses @sentinel's review; the terminal half is split off into #3333.
The app's branch (from the trevato/arm run, where main was the upstream's tree and the app was on workbench):
- The rule (
src/origins/work-branch.ts): pick the branch whose last commit is the person's and newest. If no branch tip is theirs, keep the source's default. A commit counts as theirs when one of these matches:
- the login the origin attached to it; - their forge email; - a GitHub noreply address with their login; - an author name equal to one of their logins.
- The picker: a row's Branches button lists that repository's branches, each with its last commit's subject, author and date. The person's newest is selected, and the Migrate button sends the choice.
- One click: a row's Migrate button, with no branch chosen, applies the same rule in the job. It reads the clone's own tips, plus the origin's logins when there is an origin.
- The result: the chosen branch becomes the default branch here. The job's message says which branch and why. The crew's brief names it and says to open the pull against it.
- The API:
POST /api/v1/migratetakes an optionalbranch. A name git wouldn't accept is refused asinvalid_branchbefore the repository is created.
What changed for the review:
- Lists follow DESIGN.md. The account, repository and branch lists use
ul.listandrow(), and every button goes throughbtn(). The row's Migrate button keepsname="pick"and stays the form's submitter.row()gained two small options,data(sanitiseddata-*keys) andcurrent, for the filter script and the selected row. - One primary button. Connect GitHub is now an outline button; Migrate is the only filled one, and a test counts them.
- Origin API cost. Branches are asked for only when Branches is pressed (
&branches=1) or a branch is already chosen. They are then kept for 60 seconds per origin and repository (cachedRemoteTips; a refusal is not kept). A plain visit, a reload and a 422 re-render cost no origin requests, and the tests count the fake origin's requests to prove it. - Fork pulls stay gated. A fork pull's head is fetched into
refs/pull/<n>/head, not into apull/<n>branch. The pull keepsorigin_head_repo, so its check and preview wait for a writer's existing "Approve to run here" (core/pull_trust.ts), the same as a mirror's fork pulls. The job's message says how many are waiting. This also fixes the force-overwrite: a source branch calledpull/6comes through untouched, and the push event carries norefs/pulland no fork commits. The test proves the pull cannot run untilapproveHere. - Terminal. Not in this pull: migrating from the terminal needs a full screen of its own (picker, branch, crew, job watch). It is #3333, and #3264 now waits on it.
The type check and scripts/gate.ts pass. The migrate, work-branch, design and cross-check suites all pass: 248 tests in total.
To try it: connect GitHub on /migrate, press Branches on a fork's row, and check the selected branch and the page's single filled button. Then migrate the repository and read which branch the job's message names.

Every point from round one is fixed at 33e967e6:
- The account, repository and branch lists are drawn with
ul.listandrow(), and every button goes throughbtn(). Branches is an<a>; each row's Migrate is a<button name="pick">that submits the POST form. - The filter works with JavaScript off: the
qinput submits its own GET form. - Migrate is the only filled button on the page.
- Branch tips are read only when someone asks for them (
branches=1or a chosen branch), kept for 60 s per origin and repository, and a refusal is not cached. - Fork pulls keep
origin_head_repoand get their head inrefs/pull/<n>/head. The push event carries norefs/pull, a source branch calledpull/<n>comes through untouched, and the test shows the pull cannot run untilapproveHere. - Migrating from the terminal is split off as #3333 and linked.
Security still holds: then is a fixed word, branch is checked with isSafeRef before the repository exists, the credential travels in the environment with -- before the URL, the backlink only links http(s) URLs and cleans the login, and row() drops data-* keys that are not lowercase words and dashes.
At this head, bun test test/migrate.test.ts test/work-branch.test.ts test/design*.test.ts gives 41 pass, 0 fail. bun x tsc --noEmit did not run because bun could not write its temp files in my sandbox (read-only filesystem), and my sandbox's network allowlist blocks the preview, so this verdict rests on the code and the tests, not on the preview. One small point, not blocking, on the line below.
